the enemy for about thirty minutes, our whole line was broken and repulsed, and the men retired in the greatest confusion. I regret to say that, in this battle, Col. Link, of the Twelfth Indiana, was dangerously wounded, and Col. McMillan, of the Ninety-fifth Ohio, was shot in the hand. After passing through Richmond, by your pm had travelled twenty-five miles after hearing the cannonading of the morning, for valuable aid given me during the second and third engagements. Colonels Lucas, Link, Mahan, Korff, Landrum, Oden, Munday, McMillan, Majors Kempton, Orr, Morrison, Captain Baird, Lieut. Lamphere, and Sergeant Brown, of the battery, greatly distingues, inspired the men by their heroic words and examples; Gen. Nelson, waving his hat and shouting: Boys, if they can't hit me they can't hit a barn-door. Here Colonel Link was shot. The regiment to our right broke back.

, I am sorry to say, mounted their horses and fled, without even getting a look at the foe. It was impossible to rally them, and they continued their flight to some distance north of Richmond, and were only checked by meeting the brigade under Colonel Link, who compelled them to return to Richmond, where they now are. The brave boys who did their duty were sacrificed through these cowards; for I have no hesitation in saying that, if the latter had obeyed my orders, the rebels would have been ved about ten o'clock. Shortly after they sent in a flag of truce, demanding an unconditional surrender of myself and the town. I replied that I would not surrender, and would fight it out.

He arrived about twelve o'clock with reinforcements, and the enemy concluded to postpone their attack, and to-day retreated. Leonidas Metcalfe.
